The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

"Fourth Bro, believe me, this isn’t over yet. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll definitely come looking for you again! If you’re really not interested, you might have to lay low for a while!" Wang Dalu said as they watched the student council member’s figure disappear.

After a pause, Qin Fan nodded solemnly. Then, he pulled out his phone and called his counselor.

"Counselor Wang, it’s Qin Fan!"

"Qin Fan! My goodness, where are you? The whole world is looking for you!" Counselor Wang’s shocked voice shouted through the phone.

"I can’t be bothered to deal with those guys. I’m not interested in joining any team, so please turn them down for me," Qin Fan said, shaking his head helplessly at his counselor’s frantic tone.

"What? You’re not interested? You want me to turn them down? Qin Fan, think about it! Do you realize what this means? If you make it big in the NBA, it will have a tremendous impact on our country and our university! Don’t be rash, please think this through!" Counselor Wang said, his words tumbling out.

"I’m not being impulsive, and I’ve thought it through very clearly. Not interested means not interested. It’s just like my decision to attend Jinling University with a perfect score. It might seem crazy to countless people, but it was still my choice. So, the matter of the teams is settled. Please help me turn them down. Thanks!" Qin Fan replied with a light chuckle, without a shred of hesitation.

Silence fell on the other end of the line. As Qin Fan had said, compared to turning down an invitation from the NBA, choosing to attend Jinling University with a perfect score seemed even more insane.

Qin Fan didn’t press the issue. After a full ten seconds, Counselor Wang’s voice finally came through again. "Are you absolutely sure you want to turn them down?"

"Positive."

"Alright then! I’ll go talk to them right now! Um, do you want to make an appearance? It would probably be better if you told them face-to-face," Counselor Wang suggested.

"Forget it. I can’t be bothered to deal with them. Counselor Wang, I’m counting on you for this!"

Hearing Counselor Wang’s affirmation, Qin Fan hung up and started walking outside again.

"Fourth Bro, where are you off to?" Li Qiuzhe quickly called out, seeing that Qin Fan had just returned only to leave again.

"Going to dodge the limelight!"

With a wave of his hand, Qin Fan strode out. He pulled out his phone, opened WeChat, and pulled up his chat with Jiang Yinuo. A faint smile touched his lips as he hesitated for a moment before pressing the video call button.

「Inside girls’ dormitory room 306.」

Jiang Yinuo’s phone, sitting on her desk, suddenly began to vibrate and ring.

"Yinuo, you’ve got a video call on WeChat!" shouted Du Ruanqin, who was sitting in her chair, absorbed in a game of Honor of Kings.

"I’m washing my hair! I’m busy, just hang up for me!" Jiang Yinuo’s voice called out from the bathroom.

"Hey, hey, hey—whoa! It’s a call from the Great God!" exclaimed Ou Mingsi, who had gotten up to decline the call, her eyes wide with surprise.

What? A call from the Great God?

Hearing those words, Du Ruanqin immediately dropped her phone mid-ranked match and snatched Jiang Yinuo’s phone off the desk.

"No way, Ruanqin, you’re not going to answer it, are you?" Ou Mingsi whispered urgently, seeing Du Ruanqin grab the phone.

"Let’s tease him a bit!" Du Ruanqin flashed a cute smile, winked mischievously, and pressed the answer button.

"Hi, Great God! Long time no see!" Du Ruanqin waved cheerfully at Qin Fan’s face on the screen.

Uh...

Qin Fan was a little taken aback by the unexpected face on his screen. Still, he smiled and returned the greeting before asking, "Where’s Yinuo?"

"Looking for Sister Yinuo, are we? She’s busy right now, so you’ll have to wait! Let’s chat for a bit first! You’ve been quite the sensation these past few days, huh? First, you ran circles around those foreign players, then you bent the backboard support with that earth-shattering dunk! Seriously, are you an alien or something? No normal person is like you! Now you’ve even attracted the attention of CBA and NBA teams. I have to say, Great God, your presence has brought Jinling University an unimaginable amount of hype. By the way, has the university given you any advertising fees for all this?" Du Ruanqin chattered on playfully like a machine gun, winking slyly at the camera.

However, on a nearby bunk bed, Xu Jiayi lay on her side, her expression darkening to an extreme. An uncontrollable chill seemed to emanate from her.

Jiang Yinuo! Jiang Yinuo! Why is it always Jiang Yinuo? What’s so good about her? How is she any better than me? Why is he always thinking about Jiang Yinuo? How can he be so heartless as to blacklist me, yet still chase after her again and again?

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Xu Jiayi’s heart began to twist with jealousy. Throughout this first month as freshmen, Qin Fan had barely even glanced in her direction. Not once. She had tried to win him over with persistence, but it now seemed that as long as Jiang Yinuo was in the picture, she would never be able to touch his heart.

Jiang Yinuo, don’t push me... don’t force my hand! she muttered, her lips moving without a sound as she clenched her fists tightly. A harsh glint shone from her eyes.

It got to the point where she even started to resent Du Ruanqin. I’m not an idiot. I know Du Ruanqin is always, whether intentionally or not, trying to set Qin Fan up with Jiang Yinuo. But Qin Fan is mine. He can only be mine! Anyone who gets in the way of my plans is an enemy!

In the video, Qin Fan could only manage a wry smile at Du Ruanqin’s barrage of words. "Classmate, are you praising me or roasting me?"

"If you think I’m roasting you, then I’m roasting you! Tsk tsk. So what’s up, missing Sister Yinuo already? Great God, let me ask you a question, and you have to answer honestly!" Du Ruanqin said, deftly changing the subject.

"Ask away," Qin Fan replied, walking through the dormitory gardens with his phone.

"Do you like Yinuo? Have you fallen for my Sister Yinuo?" Du Ruanqin asked bluntly.

His steps halted. Looking at Du Ruanqin’s sly expression in the video, Qin Fan took a breath, nodded, and smiled. "Yeah."

At this point, he felt there was no reason to hide it anymore.

"Whoa! You admitted it! Hey, hey, hey! Right, then tell me the truth again. Was the ’her’ you mentioned at the freshman assembly Sister Yinuo? No lying! Lying makes you Yinuo’s godson!" Du Ruanqin said, pointing a finger at the camera excitedly.

"That’s right. I came to Jinling University for Yinuo," Qin Fan confessed with sincere honesty.

"You, you, you! Whoa, I can’t believe I was right! Haha! Great God, don’t worry! On your quest to win over Sister Yinuo, your pal Du will be your wingwoman! Oh, right! And another thing! Since your heart already belongs to someone, could you please try to keep a lower profile from now on? Don’t attract all those bees and butterflies. It’ll break Sister Yinuo’s heart! Even if she doesn’t get heartbroken, I will on her behalf!" Du Ruanqin rattled on.

Beside her, Ou Mingsi’s jaw dropped. She was stunned by Qin Fan’s blunt confession. Subconsciously, her mind flashed back to the dinner where they first met.

So the hints were there from the very beginning, huh!
